Had a Job in The Past, You Have a Client, Create a List of
Actionable Services, and Cold Pitches Work! If You’ve Had a Job
in The Past, You Have a Client Talk to anyone who has ever paid
you in the past, get on a call with that individual, and figure
out what they can pay you for. Some of Alex’s best clients are
the companies that he’s worked with in the past. One of the main
reasons Alex transitioned to his new career, was the company he
worked for gave him a four figure a month contract immediately
out the gate of leaving. Once you get on the call, Alex suggests
to come up with a list of ten ways the company can improve from
your services. These need to be high level solutions that you can
actually do. For his old company, Alex created created a
marketing plan with actionable items and a price next to each
service that he later used as a proposal. Cold Pitches Work! Alex
was able to find his first job with ZERO connections in the most
competitive job market in the world, New York City. He was able
to do so by cold emailing people. At that time, Alex cold emailed
200 - 300 people a day and got a few interviews. In an attempt to
separate himself from his competition (AKA other interns), Alex
offered to work for free for the first month. This gave him an
edge that led to him getting hired above every other intern at
the fast growing startup. __________ Techie, Millennial Author,
